Counseling Center Spring Programs

Posted: 01 Feb 2022 07:00 AM PST

The Counseling Center will continue to hold our Wellness Workshop series for students throughout the Spring semester!

As a reminder, the Wellness Workshop series provides students with virtual skill-based workshops on 16 different topics rotating throughout each month. Students can attend as many of these drop-in workshops as they would like. No prior contact with the Counseling Center is necessary.

Learn more: counseling.umd.edu/workshops/ 

Students do not need to be struggling to benefit from these workshops! For example, our Dealing with Disappointment, Managing Imposter Syndrome, Conquer Procrastination Now, and Effective Communication Skills workshops (just to name a few) address common life experiences for college students.
